Understanding emptiness, we learn to embody freedom in all the moments of our lives. The absolute and relative are interwoven--the ground of wisdom and compassion.
The body is one of the most constant resting places of the "self". Relationship to our body holds not only the potential for confusion and suffering but also for profound wisdom.
The place of passion in practice is expressed in the Iddhipadas (Bases of Power): zeal, effort, love of Dharma and preciousness of this opportunity to practice.
